the noise they were actually one of the biggest gainers up one percent as best as hope that this will. this shareholder disputes will result in the company developing ford or i coming up next on art see an exclusive interview with the president of the nicaragua to stay with us. what a president that was isn't as good as i think you mr president for taking the time had recently chavez won the presidential election in venezuela and stayed in office a year ago the people of nicaragua we elected you for another term it does this mean that socialism has proved its viability and is now established in latin america well. the near liberal model has failed in other words capitalism reached the highest stage where it was expected to resolve all the economic and social problems overnight resolve the problems of unemployment and poverty but this model failed and it failed not only in latin america it is also failing in

developed economies as it was today we see it failing in the us and europe and this is why people in our part of the world gladly embrace the idea of a radical change in our country's need sovereignty and independence in every area political independence is impossible without social and economic independence today a new reality is gradually emerging in latin american and caribbean nations and they have more freedom today to determine their future president hugo chavez in recent victory will definitely help latin america and the caribbean to continue on the path of change this was that of the following that sampling of president fernando hoover and learning why there was speculation that we are into a new era of good start how likely do you consider such a scenario today. in america in fact also in latin america have never managed to make coups a thing of the past and i'm afraid this might never happen and i believe there will

be an implicit threat of a coup as long as a conservative forces in the united states take interest in disrupting any development aimed at upsetting the current global hierarchy these for seizing the gauger local groups. in our countries in covert activities and we've seen it happen across latin america and the caribbean will say you think there's a connection between miliband bag why the attempted coup inadequate or an a military coup in honduras yes that is a fact that there's a lot of take the attempted overthrowing president chavez in venezuela in april two thousand and two for example next came a coup in honduras aimed at hampering the development of a unified latin america then there was an explicit and very forceful attempt at a coup in bolivia aimed against president evo morales then there was an attempted coup against the president or rafael correa in ecuador and most recently the plot to force the paraguayan president out of power i think this will remain and place

it threat but it will gradually losing the ability over time due to the rising drive for change that we've seen gaining momentum in latin america this movement is based on respect for the will of the people and this is what will make coups increasingly harder to pull off time after time yet we shouldn't rule out such a possibility altogether not as long as we remain at all possible it forces the strive for global domination and believe that the world is supposed to bend the knee to them but they still don't realize that we no longer live in an era of hendra many so there will remain a hidden late in the minutes for the time being when. in july two thousand and twelve the national assembly of nicaragua adopted a law to build a canal that would connect the caribbean to the pacific this would not merrily give a boost to the nicaraguan economy but actually promote yukon change to one of the region's reaches economies when is the canal scheduled for completion. indeed and

a vision of such a canal goes back as long as the history of nicaragua for five centuries you know nobody. ever since the spanish conquest and later on great britain rival it with spain for control of iraq are thinking there was a natural one. away here it's sort of existed or by way of the sun one river that springs from lake nicaragua but one section was missing that we were a canal across the narrow isthmus of reverse because of that our country ended up in the middle of geo political disputes and became a target for us expansionist policies nicaragua and most of all independent of the us invasion but what's important here is that this project has always been on the books with a good i want to over a century ago the americans themselves looked into building a canal in nicaragua but then they decided to invest in the panama canal. but once we became independent we revisited this with it and now we're working to make it

real and our canal would not serve to substitute the panama canal but rather to complement it there's similar logic here is in urban planning the more roads you have in your city the better the traffic we're looking at providing our region with two major waterway routes instead of a lot of this would it harms the region's transit capabilities bring down transit costs and thus benefit global trade in general better serving not just our own interests as an economy those of the entire international community will support for nicaragua it would also mean independence giving us access to resources and the kind of revenues that would enable us to account entirely self-sufficient as of now we're a dependent economy there's nothing wrong with interdependence in the complimentarity one way dependency is bad for anyone and so when will nicaragua finally get its chance or very soon i hope that there is

a lot of work being done chinese companies are in charge of the project and we expect it to be accomplished rather quickly is that you know if this year the united states has thurman aided it's going around eight commitments the nicaragua how has that affected your country by this. morning. what nicaragua is highly vulnerable is in it calling us throughout our history our economy has suffered at the hands of the u.s. and its policies that got the city of grenada for example what he thought was burned to the ground with falling prey to america's expansionist policies or those wars and military invasions the us are sponsored or provoked a little there's even been a ruling by the international court of justice binding the united states to compensate michael right over for all our losses but the us has ignored his good of course the fact that the us has terminated what they call aid to nicaragua has had negative consequences for our people and our country that i was but in reality that was no aid to them and that what the americans call aid was really tiny

installments in payment of the and homeless debt the us owes to nicaragua it was no aid no cooperation that was merely an allowance they paid us with passing it for aid and cooperated only their word and it came with tight conditions attached to the workers so we cannot talk of nicaragua as a sovereign and independent nation but as long as long as we remain critically dependent upon granted states and its current political trends it's prevalent frame of mind and the amount of influence radical groups enjoy there at any given moment of time because those are the groups that well largely determine us foreign policies they are the ones who contest in court all u.s. cooperation programs for the nicaragua and even call for using force against latin american nations and the das to hand up for our independence but that is why terminating any form out of cooperation will be bound to have and negative impact on the curriculum that is exactly what makes it so important for us to ensure that

our nation should no longer be dependent upon this sort of conditional cooperation with neither the united states well the european union the us has essentially pursued a policy of right. these are very nicaragua and it's people this is unfair and undemocratic they're not supporting liberty they're promoting servitude and this is what prompts us to get the canal done as soon as possible it would relieve us of our present dependency upon the u.s. and we worry about it and they're hedging monic policies one of them and then think of the united states is all set for a presidential election and i learned god was expectations in this regard. i believe this is an election where the american people should vote for their government to commit itself to a peaceful foreign policy agenda that is what i see as most important and the best thing we united states could do for the world is pursue peace not war and

a policy of peace would enable us to be more successful in addressing its domestic as well nor the global economic challenges provide it up with us to seek an eternity of to the neo liberal implicitly or that were predominant among capitalist economies in recent years ago and have proved to be such a failure what ought i mean. what do you i do a perfect world what all will seen it for latin america the united states or russia . independent them i'm sure we're already heading that way despite efforts from certain forces to prevent this kind of a change i mean the american far right who won't even tolerate a president such as barack obama they denounce him merely because of his african origins and the color of in yet these forces grow weaker with time the same is happening in europe all of us the reality itself sends a signal to the nations that used to feel like they ruled the world until recently and what the book telling them the world can no longer go on with and you want to

get it out it was reality that has shaped the world what we know today as a multi-polar world owned regard less of whether hedge monic powers choose to move along with the rest of the world where the world favors multi polarity and we are moving in that direction we hope those in power in the world's most advanced economies long before finally realize that the path they had been following thinking is today a path toward only peace stability growth and development has eventually brought them to the verge of disaster and they're the ones heading towards a cliff in the past up or they used to drive us toward self-destruction this time they are themselves. set on a plan to go out their only option is to change themselves and to that end they need to evolve and to promote a world order to be aligned with international un of principles and the laws of international trade in a multi-polar world as it is so you believe this is reality rather than wishful

thinking on earlier it is reality i'm sure of that already see it happening because it was the president thank you for your time with you thank you. hugh as his day starts at five am even earlier in the winter tending to his flock of story hundred sheep in the mountains and pains of t.v. thirty five years old it wasn't the life he dreamt of having studied accounting but unfamiliar duty dictated that he would take on the care of these animals after his father. has just made camp their winter founded setting up his new it the traditional two fenian round tent made of diskin. back amongst his family as his job is a lonely one and tough going out in all weathers braving extremes of plus to minus
